A more authoritative, representative Gimav, closer to companies

The programme for the new mandate is based on a vision aimed at making Gimav increasingly authoritative in institutional relations, more representative of the entire supply chain and more useful to

member companies.

Among the priorities identified by the new Presidency are:

• strengthening the Association’s representative role and expanding its membership base;

• consolidating services and help desks in support of companies;

• adopting a more proactive approach to internationalisation processes;

• strengthening dialogue with the Confindustria system and with institutions;

• developing VITRUM as an international hub for the glass economy and as a permanent platform for innovation, relations and business for the sector.

Particular attention will also be devoted to developing relations among member companies, enhancing the value of the different glass supply chains and strengthening GIMAV’s role as a point of reference for the

entire industrial ecosystem of the sector.

Nancy Mammaro, President of GIMAV: “I accept this appointment with pride and with a deep sense of responsibility towards all the companies represented by GIMAV. Our sector is experiencing a complex phase, marked by international tensions, regulatory transformations and increasingly competitive markets. In this scenario, it is essential to build concrete association action, capable of listening to the real needs of companies, protecting the supply chain and supporting businesses in their growth, innovation and internationalisation paths.

We want GIMAV to be increasingly strong, authoritative and united, able to act as a recognised voice for the sector in Italy and around the world. We will work to strengthen the value of belonging to the

Association, develop new opportunities for companies and consolidate the international positioning of Italian glass technology”.
